5 Seconds Of Summer Are Psyched About Being Awarded "Worst Band"

Let's face it: if you're a successful pop act, you haven't really made it in the mainstream until NME hates you. Fortunately, the boys of 5 Seconds Of Summer can celebrate in the knowledge that their efforts have been recognised, after winning the music publication's highest honour at the 2015 NME Awards: Worst Band.

5SOS' Michael, who initially noticed the nomination and encouraged fans to vote, could barely contain his joy at actually winning the award.

Won the NME worst band award. I'm so damn happy right now. thx to everyone who voted #dreamscomingtrue

The 5SOS boys beat out competition such as Blink-182, Bastille, the 1975, U2 and even One Direction for the honour. Congrats lads.
